Requiem for a Queen

Description

A chilling breeze sweeps across your body, bringing with it a haunting drape of sadness. Your soul sinks as you hear the faint, melodic cries of Monara, the last Queen of the Mogu.

Her sweet requiem creeps through the air, bending and shaping itself into a spectral hand, reaching for your heart. As it grabs hold, you see a brief flash of Monara's last moments... her brutal murder by the hand of Lei Shen.

Song turns to sadness and Monara weeps, wailing louder and louder into the darkness.

I wonder if DrGraevling knows...

Monara is a "rare spawn" banshee that takes the place of the first mechanical trash mob in the instance, after the first windy bridge. The quest is auto-offered when you first reach the bridge. She has the same abilities as the other banshees but has a brutal shadow nova that will knock you off the platform or kill you outright. It cannot be interrupted. The only counter is to run out of its range. Just kite her around the platform avoiding the blue-column mobs and run out of her shadow nova range and the quest will auto-complete when she dies.

Watch out for Monara's shadow nova, knocked quite a few of us off the platform first time we fought her. You'll want to try to make sure you're knocked back towards one of the bridges or you can just pull back to the start of the bridge. Unfortunately this quest doesn't seem to give any rep.

Take note that she can be kited all the way back to Jin'rokh the Breaker's room. It made killing her a lot easier. You still have to avoid the Shadow Nova, but you don't have to dodge the guys with the blue columns at all.

Our group ended up (accidentally) kiting her into Jin'rokh's room. We dropped by the stacks by just running away till they were gone.

Dropped a Thunderforged item when we killed today.

Pulled Monara all the way back to Jin'rokh the Breaker's room, once there, instead of trying to kite around the room we had the tanks spread far apart and we just taunted back and forth while the ranged beat her down. Also if you encounter any deaths make sure they run back in ASAP to keep Monara from despawning.

Comment by Hawkyyy

All the posts saying you need to kite her are really unnecessary, just have tanks tank her in the middle of the platform and ranged around the side, move out for Shadow Nova then move back in, she took less than 1 minute to kill, very easy. Can even use timewarp/blood lust as you have more trash to clear after her as well before Horridon.

Shame only got gold from the reward :(

Comment by Navitron

Don't be dumb and release like I did because "its only trash" I ended up not receiving credit for killing her.

Man this reminds me of ICC...

Just in case someone didn't get the porn star/DrGreavling stuff on other coments:Some guy under the name of DrGraevling created some wow themed erotic stories and also ilustrted his tales...Monara is one of his characters: a draenei with clothes that show more than cover and that apears in a lot of...sexy situations on his stories.Still wanna know more? You can check some of it here

(I was curious after reading some coments and tried to find out who was Monara)

Hi,

seeing as tonight was the first night my lot came across this, thought I'd add my two-penneth in to help anyone else who sees the quest icon for the first time and thinks, "wtf?" Seems that Blizz have decided to replace the boredom of the trash between the first two bosses with a pain in the backside between the first two bosses. We tried both obvious ways of killing it and for sake of irritation, getting one of your tanks to aggro it back to Jin'Rokh's courtyard is the easiest way to do it, as that platform it lives on will, in most cases, see ppl bounced off it. Just kite it back, kill it, then have a laugh as the best thing anyone in your group gets in their reward bag is 25 gold and a blood spirit. Ordinarily, I try to be positive about stuff like this, but it's truly one of the most pointless things I've come across in a WoW instance, even worse than the Black Knight jabbering on in ToC 5 man. Best of luck with yr bags of joy, though :)
